Ontonagon County Airport, also known as Schuster Field (ICAO: OGM, FAA LID: OGM), is a county-owned public-use airport located 3 miles (5 km) west of the central business district of Ontonagon, Michigan, a village in Ontonagon County, Michigan, United States.[1] It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025, in which it is categorized as a basic general aviation facility.[4]
Although most airports in the United States use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and International Air Transport Association (IATA), this airport is assigned OGM by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[4] It is the westernmost U.S. airport in the Eastern Time Zone.
In 2018, the airport was the base for a search and rescue training mission run by the US Navy and the Air National Guard. MH-60 Sea Hawk Helicopters and A-10 Thunderbolts operated at the airport as part of the mission.[5]
